Silverman and her cuckolded hubby Andrew have been fighting over custody of their 7-year-old son, Adam, as well as a $4 million pre-nup agreement in the wake of her shocking cheating scandal with Cowell. The couple reportedly wanted to reach a quick settlement as soon as last week. However, negotiations slowed when Andrew balked at Lauren’s wanting to take their son with her to LA so she can be near “The X Factor” mogul Cowell.

Details of the settlement were not immediately available. Sources have speculated Lauren would get significantly less than the $4 million in her pre-nup agreement.

But don’t feel too bad for the straying wife: Page Six previously reported that Cowell’s considering giving his pregnant lover a $15 million pad in Beverly Hills just a short distance from his own sprawling mansion. He bought the spare home in 2011, but never moved in.

Cowell’s also been looking at New York apartments to rent for Lauren, who would potentially need a place in the Big Apple to visit her son. They were recently considering a $20,000-a-month apartment, sources said.

Lauren has been holed up in the Hamptons during the legal talks, and has previously stated: “I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible to ensure the well-being of our son.”

Her lawyers, and reps for Andrew, were not immediately available for comment
